Patent EP-1405518-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AGNIHOTRI LALITHA
IPC: G11B27/36
Filed: 2002-05-24
Abstract: There is disclosed a video playback device comprising: 1) a disk storage device for storing television programs received from an external source; 2) a first controller for receiving a first program recording command, wherein the first program recording command is operable to cause the first controller to store a first television program on the disk storage device during a first time slot; and 3) a second controller for determining if sufficient space is available on the disk storage device to store the first television program. The disk storage device, in response to a determination that sufficient space is not available on the disk storage device, identifies in an external communication network a second remote video playback device capable of recording the first television program and transmits a recording task request to the second remote video playback device. The recording task request causes the second remote video playback device to record the first television program during the first time slot.
Patent EP-1394412-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HIROTA HISATOSHI
IPC: F04B27/18
Filed: 2002-06-06
Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a variable
displacement compressor which is capable of using a
solenoid control valve which does not require a large
solenoid force. The compressor is configured such that an
electromagnetic proportional flow rate control valve (12)
is arranged in a refrigerant passage (13) leading from a
discharge chamber (10) to a condenser, that a differential
pressure regulating valve (14) is arranged in a
refrigerant passage leading from the discharge chamber
(10) to a crank chamber (1), and that a fixed orifice (15)
is arranged in a refrigerant passage leading from the
crank chamber (1) to a suction chamber (9), whereby the
differential pressure regulating valve (14) senses a
differential pressure (Pd, Pd') generated across the
electromagnetic proportional flow rate control valve (12),
for control of pressure introduced into the crank chamber
(1). Due to this configuration, the differential pressure
regulating valve (14) controls pressure (Pc) in the crank
chamber (1) such that the difference of pressure of
refrigerant before and after passing through a restriction
having openness set by the electromagnetic proportional
flow rate control valve (12) becomes constant, which makes
the flow rate (Qd) of discharged refrigerant constant
irrespective of changes in the engine rotational speed,
etc. Since the differential pressure can be controlled by 
a small solenoid force, the variable displacement
compressor can be made compact in size.

Abstract: The present invention allows an optimal quantity of refrigerant to be quickly and
easily charged into the refrigeration device. In a refrigeration device that includes a
refrigerant cycle circuit (A) connecting an outdoor unit (X) and indoor units (Y) via
refrigerant lines (6), (7), a refrigerant charging device (10) that charges refrigerant to the
refrigerant cycle circuit (A) in the cooling operational state is detachably connected to the
liquid side refrigerant line (6) (the high pressure liquid line during cooling operations) that
links the outdoor unit (X) with the indoor units (Y). In this way, when the refrigerant
charging device (10) and the liquid line refrigerant line (6) are linked together and the
refrigerant cycle circuit (A) is in the cooling operational state, refrigerant charging can be
carried out from the refrigerant charging device (10) to the refrigerant cycle circuit (A) via
the liquid side refrigerant line (6) (the high pressure liquid line).

Abstract: In a parking assist apparatus that assists with moving, by automatic steering, a
vehicle from an arbitrary stopping position to a target parking position set by the
driver, a setting portion (i.e., a parking assist ECU 1) sets both a path from the
stopping position to the target parking position and a steering operation necessary to
bring the vehicle along that path (S201). When this path cannot be set with the
steering angle in the stopping position set as the initial steering angle ("NO" in S202),
and when the path can be set with another steering angle as the initial steering angle
(S204-208), an instruction portion (i.e., a monitor 13 or a speaker 14) instructs the
driver to turn the steering wheel to this other steering angle (S209).
